Early Spring in a Small Village - Pressed Flowers, First love, and Gentle Healing.

Early Spring in a Small Village — Pressed Flowers, First Love, and Gentle Healing The first signs of spring arrived quietly in the village, almost shy. Snow still lingered in thin, pale patches beneath the hedges, but the air had softened, carrying the faint scent of wet earth and plum blossoms just beginning to open. I woke early, the window cracked just enough to let in birdsong. I brewed tea in the small kitchen, the kettle humming low like it was still half-asleep. Steam fogged the window as I sliced apples for breakfast, their skins crisp under my fingers. Outside, the garden waited patiently. The soil was dark and damp, ready but not rushing. Early spring always felt like that—hopeful, but unhurried. After breakfast, I carried a basket out back and knelt beside the flowerbeds. Tiny shoots pushed through the soil, brave and green. I brushed dirt from my hands and smiled without realizing it. Near the fence, a few wildflowers had survived the winter, their petals faded but still lovely. I picked them carefully, laying them flat between the pages of an old book I kept for pressing flowers. The paper smelled faintly of ink and time. Each bloom felt like a promise held still. Later that morning, I walked into town along the narrow road lined with stone walls. The river murmured beside me, swollen with melted snow. At the park, came across a young gentlemen. I frequented the park and bumped into the gentleman several times. We exchanged soft greetings, nothing more. In a village like this, words were rarely wasted. several months later, he happened to be my guide at the arts workshop I enrolled for. We became good friends. One evening, I invited him for a cup of tea and ended up having dinner. We hadn’t planned to meet—those were always the best moments. You smiled when you saw me, gentle and familiar, like a melody I hadn’t heard in years but somehow remembered by heart. The rhythm of it felt natural, as if no time had passed at all. After eating, you left. I gathered the flowers from the garden and pressed them on my old book. I felt something old and tender stir—first love, softened by years, no longer aching. Healing, I had learned, didn’t arrive all at once. It came like spring—slowly, quietly, through small, caring days. #gibliart #softmusic #peaceful #lovestory #valentinesday #valentines #valentinesspecial
